Must ask because its driving me crazy...

First off love this cosplay. You're very good. Clean and perfected. I can tell you enjoy it. ^^

Now...how did you go about making those boots??? I'm having the darnedest time trying to find the best way of going about it. Please and thank you.

They're bootcovers over heeled shoes made out of slightly stretchy fabric. Elastics over the sole and under the heel, zippers up the backs of the thighs. I used preexisting covers for a pattern, but it was pretty straightforward. I added the gold edging on afterwards, and took everything in until it fit snugly.

Glad you liked it! Thanks.

Quick question, if you don't mind, where did you happen to find the wig? I've been looking for that color everywhere. Jade has the most obnoxious hair color, yet yours looks magnificent.

Gahhhh, this one was a present, so I wasn't the actual one who ordered it, sadly. It was from either cosworxs or Amphigory.com, and one of the light brown/ auburny colors?

Sorry I can't be of more help, we sort of looked over the thumbnails, I picked it out, and that was all I had to do with it.

I try, but it helps that I need the glasses to begin with.

Thank you.

I saw you at Fanime, and I can't tell any difference from this picture and what I saw.
You're seriously the best Jade cosplayer I've ever seen...and I give you props for that.
A job well done. ^_^

I trimmed the wig and made a few small adjustments, but it's basically the same costume. Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

Nice to meet you too.

I loved Jade too, as soon as I played the game, but I had friends telling me to cosplay him since before I'd ever even played Tales. Thanks for your kind comments.

Not only does this cosplay already look totally awesome, but the picture itself is really nice. The fonic text is a nice touch, for those who know the game.

But yeah, anyways. You really make a great Jade. Well done.

Oh snap, YES.

Win. Win win win. You've won the entire world.

Because Jade Curtiss does not get NEARLY as much love as he ought to. That man. UNF. Sexy necromancer is sexy. Nice job, yo. I can't wait to see the complete, finished product.

Not a lot is getting adjusted, but the wig and the belt both need work, I just didn't have the time. Glad to see more love for the character.

Impure-Impulse In reply to Seraphically [2009-04-23 08:05:03 +0000 UTC]

D: No Dist?

I'm gonna go cry now. I'd like to do that one myself, but I have not-enough-money, and no solid ideas on how to do the petal-collar-thing-which-I-hate. Not to mention I haven't yet figured out how be two places at once.

I wish you could bring it some time, that would be awesome. Maybe another con? ;A;

And thanks, I'm glad you like the boots! They really didn't like me. >>;
